Make.com and GoHighLevel are a powerful combination — GHL handles your CRM, communication, and lead management while Make.com connects it to everything else: Xero, Google Sheets, Slack, and hundreds of other apps.
Step 1: Get your GHL API key. In GoHighLevel, go to Settings → Business Profile → API Keys → Generate New Key. Copy and save it securely.
Step 2: Create a Make.com connection. In Make.com, add a GoHighLevel module to any scenario. Paste your API key when prompted. The connection persists across all your scenarios.
Step 3: Build your first scenario. Common starting point: GHL ‘New Contact’ trigger → Google Sheets ‘Add Row’ (for backup tracking) → Slack ‘Send Message’ (team notification). This takes 10 minutes to build.
Step 4: Expand with useful scenarios. Job completion in GHL → create Xero invoice. New GHL appointment → add to Google Calendar. GHL form submission → create Trello card for your team.
Pro tips: use filters to avoid processing irrelevant events, add error handlers so failed steps don’t break the entire workflow, and test every scenario with dummy data before going live.
Most Perth businesses start with 2-3 Make.com scenarios connecting GHL to their accounting and notification tools, then expand as they identify more manual processes to eliminate.
